Description
A pioneering physician reveals how childhood stress leads to lifelong health problems and what we can do
to break the cycle.
Dr. Nadine Burke Harris was already known as a crusading physician delivering targeted care to vulnerable
children. But it was Diego—a boy who had stopped growing after a sexual trauma—who galvanized her to
dig deeper into the connections between toxic stress and the lifelong illnesses she was tracking among so many
of her patients and their families. A survey of more than 17,000 adult patients†“adverse childhood
experiences,― or ACEs, like divorce, substance abuse, or neglect, had proved that the higher a personâ€s
ACE score the worse their health—and now led Burke Harris to an astonishing breakthrough. Childhood
stress changes our neural systems and lasts a lifetime.Â
Â
Through storytelling that delivers both scientific insight and moving stories of personal impact, Burke Harris
illuminates her journey of discovery, from research labs nationwide to her own pediatric practice in San
Franciscoâ€s Bayview-Hunters Point. For anyone who has faced a difficult childhood, or who cares about
the millions of children who do, the innovative and acclaimed health interventions outlined in The Deepest Well
will represent vitally important hope for change.Â
